Abstract

The reaction of trifluoromethylthiocopper with halomethanes, namely di- and triiodo-, dibromodichloro-, dibromochlorofluoro-, dibromo-difluoro-,bromochlorofluoro-, phenyltrichloro-, bromocyano- and dibromofluoro-methanes, has been investigated in detail. In addition to the expected compounds, the formation of unusual products such as bis(trifluoromethyl)trithiocarbonate, dimethyl(trifluoromethylthio)benzene, bis(trifluoromethylthio)fluoromethane, (trifluoromethylthio)carbonyl fluoride, carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride, trifluoromethylthio- benzoate, etc. was observed. In some cases, bis(trifluoromethylthio)mercury has been used instead of trifluoromethylthiocopper. The mechanism of formation of the various products and their mass spectral fragmentation behavior are described.
